Default Chroming stock 16" alloy wheels

Does anyone have any thoughts on chroming the stock 16" alloy wheels? I live in Indianapolis, and have a pristine 2001 LS-430 in Parchment with the rather dull stock wheels.

Also, any advice as to where to get them done, cost etc. are appreciated.

My previous Lexus rides were;

A 1990 LS-400, 110K miles and not a single burp, A perfect car.

A 1996 LS-400, ditto, same as above.

A 200 SC0400, great car, no problems at all.

This is my 2001 with chrome 16" on them in the top photo. It might be cheaper to just buy 16" chrome ones than to rechrome yours or select a different style all together in look and rim size.

You might just save your money and buy some different wheels at some point.

I agree. Keep your stock set of wheels in case you decide to sell your car. Put on aftermarket and enjoy the looks. Make sure they clear your bbk though.
